Thriving in your twenties - Part 1
My journey , reinventing myself , uni life and my tips for when you feel lost
At 21, I embrace daily learning. In 2020, sparked by a YouTube video, I began writing my strengths, joys, and preferences in my first journal. This marked the start of my passion for self-development, i enjoyed journaling as I eagerly absorbed insights from books like "Atomic Habits," "The Happiness Equation," , "The Four Agreements" and "Big Magic." and more
2020, my first year at university marked a significant learning curve. Lost within the intricate world of biology, I wandered in uncertainty, i didn’t know anyone , I embarked on this journey alone, grappling with the fear that this solitude might define my entire university experience.
Embarking on a journey of discovery, I immersed myself in learning, devouring biology's intricacies and envisioning its potential. Amidst the labyrinth of uncertainty, i met a new bestie i’m an extrovert so it’s easy for me to make friends we are still besties , i wasn’t alone anymore i enjoyed uni a lot , the places , walking in the vacation i said to myself you will be the first in your class you are capable of that
I reinvented myself that year i mean i became another person i was so stressed , anxious , sad life was a mess and you know when you are sooo stressed you can’t control it anymore and it becomes soo hard so i’m so proud of myself
I achieved the goal i craved more success and good grades , i also created a studygram and helped many people and i was happy of who i became i met then another friend she’s ambitious too and inspired me a lot one day we were in the bus and she was like you know what i have an idea i love biology but i want to stop and do something new , i agreed with her idea because she’s so ambitious and i was like yessss go for it i know she’s capable of that
You have to know that I have those days when I just want to be alone just me enjoying life , learning , going on solo dates and it’s fine , solo dates are so good I enjoy shopping clothes better alone
Last time the friend I met told me i inspired her 2 years ago , i had no idea i was suprised i told her same for me , now i’m thriving in biology i never believed one day i will love biolgy and research this much , I also spent all nights to study and get good grades it was hard too
In your life you meet many people and you will learn a lot in your journey , you will find that you are their source of inspiration , they will learn a lot from you , you will help them too , they will appreciate everything about you that you don’t like and they will love you for who you are
The important things to do if you feel lost:
Write your goals and dreams in details bestie
Journal
Think about what you want in life ? who you want to become ?
Write your likes and dislikes , fear and strenghts
Set boundaries ( so important )
Watch thewizardLiz videos on YouTube
Watch videos , learn new things , read books , romanticize your life and enjoy the present moment
Also never prioritize a relationship over your career or success that’s my number one rule never bestie , it’s not for now focus on the end goal
Having a crush is fun and amazing but i think when I have a crush on someone I neglect myself and it’s not good I stop my routines , Selfcare
Remember it’s never too late to become the woman of your dreams you are capable just visualize and think , you will be her one day

I think it’s my favourite post so far! I will read it again for sure. How you described those things were perfect. This was my favourite part “In your life you meet many people and you will learn a lot in your journey , you will find that you are their source of inspiration , they will learn a lot from you , you will help them too , they will appreciate everything about you that you don’t like and they will love you for who you are”
Thank you so much for it. That’s was all I needed to hear right now🫶🏼
